New Orleans-born rapper Curren$y has purchased the old Bud’s Broiler location near City Park, which closed in December amid a legal dispute. The singer plans to reopen the burger joint under a new name.

“The Ink dry is dry so now I can talk about it.... for years me and my loved ones have pulled up to this historic location near City Park to enjoy a tasty burger... recently the place went up for sale.... I was considering purchasing a dawn and a Bentley.... instead I bought a business..... now it’s time to remodel and rebrand... #lifeburgerNola coming soon,” Curren$y wrote in an Instagram post.

I hope they are good. I wanted a company burger there. Never would happen though.

I bet the building was less than a "dawn and a Bentley " though.

I went there a few times after they opened. Service was a little slow, but the food tasted just like the original location, so I was happy.

Was hoping it was Master P. Curren$y isn't as dumb as most rappers but doubt he has any idea how to successfully run a business.

My guess this is a front for laundering money or as a write off for his profits if he can afford a Bentley. No way in hell will I step foot in that place now. I would be afraid of a drive by waiting in line.

$9000 rent, roughly $1200 utilities, factor in food cost, equipment and any renovations and a no name business? This is not even a unique idea to make this work. Let’s see how long it stays open with no customers.

I've never been in there. Other locations a long time ago but last 5 years, maybe longer, I don't have a reason to eat at BB.

Why do you assume he is laundering money or that he needs to launder money to afford a Bentley?

why? it's already a good location. If he puts good people up to run it, there's no reason why it shouldn't succeed.

A bunch of racists up in here.

I hope he keeps it open 24 hrs and sells liquor. I’m down to pound some.
